Conductive fibers are specialized materials that can conduct electricity. They are often made from a blend of traditional fibers, like cotton or polyester, and conductive materials such as metallic nanoparticles or carbon nanotubes. These fibers can be woven into textiles, allowing the fabric to transmit electrical signals or power small devices. These fibers have various applications, including in wearable technology, where they can monitor health metrics, and in smart textiles, which can change properties based on environmental conditions. Conductive fibers are also used in electronic textiles (e-textiles) for creating interactive clothing and accessories.
